Re: Oil Detergents
Those are the same folks who, after using gasoline to clean the
bearing, use an air hose and spin them to dry all the gasoline out.
Then it doesn't matter if the grease is clobbered since the high speed
dry run has already done the damage.
No, I suspect that the drip gas has a pretty high butane content. It
collects in the piping where the 6-10 inch casing is necked down and
throttled on the way to the natural gas storage, so it is effectively
a distillation byproduct from a really crude natural gas process. The
production of gasoline is also a selective distillation process under
tightly controlled conditions followed by additional processing. All
the cracking and catalytic processing done to crude just breaks that
raw material down to more useful and desirable components before
fractional distilling separates out some of the desired products like
benzene, kerosene, etc. As I'm sure you are aware, they use
"everything but the oink" for one thing or another with the final
residue going off as asphalt base and bunker oil. The amount we got
was highly affected by the outside air temp and winter times would
give us more than we could use while those balmy 100+ degree summer
days slowed the flow to a trickle. Those same temps also made it boil
off quite a bit, but what the heck - it was free. The stuff is a
pretty good grease solvent as well - Grandma used it to get overalls
clean before washing - but I would be hesitatant about putting it into
a modern engine that I wanted to keep for any length of time.
For all intents and purposes, it acted about like the old sub-regular
that Gulf and Sunonco used to sell as Gulftane, etc. Just another
nostalgic curiosity from "the good old days".

Dunno of any natural rubber based tires any more. Too difficult to
make the hydrophilic treads so good for rain and winter.
Mobil lost the lawsuit because they didn't have a case...and ran into
a judge capable of recognizing marketing bull--bull much like the
crap you seem to believe.
Frankly it don't make a difference whether the materials come from
oil, fish, whales, or doggypoo. What matters is the result and
effectiveness. Everything else is just BS for those like you
who are stupid and uneducated enough to believe it.
